After so long between Adelaide shows for Bugs Lion Arts Factory sold out.

Bugs brought their dear friends Melaleuca from Brisbane to open the night for them.

Being the first band to open is always hard but they warmed up the crowd so quickly and gain a few extra fans that night.

Making way for the dynamic duo Teenage Joans. These two have a huge fan base in Adelaide with every favourite song being sung along to. There new song Wine was released this week so its quickly becoming a crowd favourite.

The new EP dropped Friday so make sure you have a listen and head along to their tour in July.

The energy Bugs gave was insane. Most the crowd would have gone home with a lost voice with the way that they were all singing along to every single word.

Opening with “old youth feeling.” It was huge right from the start it was at that moment the crowd started jumping. With the vibrations going right through your body the buzz did not stop there.

With the first note of “Neighborhood” the crowd sung it for Connor it wasn’t until the first chorus that the bugs boys were able to join in after being so ecstatic with how popular the song is.

Connor was left on his own to do a solo for “heart on your sleeve” and “DCP” with Brock and Jordan almost missing their cue to go back on by laughing side stage joking about how Connor would react if the missed it almost actually missing it.

The crowd went crazy for the cover “She’s so High by Tal Bachman” but the main song that the crowd went wild for was the closing song “Charlie by Mallrat”

But the night didn’t end there. The bugs boys went on to Fat Controller and played a DJ set. With it being Bugs first time doing a DJ set it was very interesting but extremely entertaining. Once they got the hang of it, they were even taking request from the crowd. Teenage Jones even came to help out and have a dance with them. Adelaide can't wait for them to come back again.
